An Aztec in action !! He's on "my" bit as well. It's not right !!! Two days ago .... I heard the first Chiffchaff singing. It was the first of two warm(ish)(10½°) dry sunny days !! Wooooo ! Not only that, but when I looked out the back door first thing, there was a lovely fine mist enveloping the trees, and a Gt Spot was drumming away like mad . Yesterday .... 2nd Chiffchaff. A bit disappointed not to find any Sand Martins in the various possible spots ... nor any Wheatears. But they'll be along soon. This morning ...a couple of hours ago ... ok, it was drizzling ....( it sounds better in Welsh, glaw mân) , but that woodpecker was really close this time ... and then the amazing but very-elusive-for-the-last-4-weeks-female-Blackcap put on a good show again. Still couldn't get a decent snap of it though. If you want to see a really crappy picture of it, have a look on post #1. Bring a hand lens. Nothing too remarkable, nothing to leap into the car for ... but that doesn't matter. It's all very , er, nice ! Yes, I'm a soppy old Hector ( at times). Now, thematically, it's "Dafydd Iwan yn y glaw" .... by top Welsh band Datblygu. I wonder who made that video ? could it possibly have been me ? Yes it was ... and I spelled his name wrongly and then found I couldn't change it ! The only comment it got was pretty much right ! Later... it's 4;50 pm, I'm back in the "office" and looking out of the window, there's a smashing Buzzard flapping northwards over the house !
For "office, read " tip." I hope you've remembered what an "Aztec" is by the way ... see post #4 if not.
